Got a Black + Decker 7qt from a friend!
We're currently making some quick chicken on high with brown cilantro rice in a garlic cumin sauce.
It smells good, hopefully will turn out!
Would have loved to cook it longer on slow.
Any tips on using this thing efficiently for healthy meal prep is very welcome.

Get the Great American Slow Cooker Cookbook. 500 non dump non just a bottle of this and packet of that recipes.
You can search YouTube and Pinterest for recipes. Just type in what you’re in the mood to cook with “crock pot” or “slow cooker” and voilà!
Two things to know, though. You don’t need to lock the lid in place. The locks are there for when you’re travelling with the appliance. And you don’t need as much liquid as you would in an oven or stovetop preparation because the slow cooker doesn’t allow for nearly as much evaporation. (In saying that, I have never made pasta in a slow cooker, so I’m not talking about pasta here.)
